Fernan Saddle Fully Loaded

Top of Fernan Saddle. 2500 ft in 5 miles, plus another 2 miles beyond here for a total of about 3000 ft of climbing. I am probably hauling more than I really need. But it it is hard to say no to certain things.

FAQ

Is there a support van going along with you?

No, this is a self contained tour. That means we carry everything on our bikes and rely on each other, cell phones, and the kindness of strangers to deal with the unexpected things that will happen along the way.

How many people are riding?

As I understand it there are 15 total including a coordinator who is responsible for making lodging arrangements, paying for groceries and the other miscellaneous things that one can plan for on a trip like this.

Are you eating out?

Probably from time to time, but generally we are cooking our own meals. There is a rotation for cooking duty. I believe the plan is for 3 cooks per rotation. Not sure of much else other than I hope that I get into a group with at least 1 good cook.

Where are you staying?

Mostly a combination of camping and hostels. Some places camping is the only option.
